Hatozaki 12 Year Old Umeshu Cask Finish is a whisky Japanese aged for 12 years of which a final part of several months in barrels that previously contained Umeshu, or a Japanese liqueur obtained from the maceration of ume, a local green plum. This liqueur is of great charm and is often used in mixing. The Hatokazi brand is owned by the Akashi group and is made up of a few selected labels obtained from private stocks that the family that owns Akashi and other brands has collected over the years, barrels coming not only from Japan but from all over the world.
